A New Industf& is Beginning to

NEW York, Jufe ;pew industry for
women is beginninG "A Ne itself in New
York which may W .1hch toward solv-
ing the ve1ed servaat flxI question Some
three months agon N0nl1i1E of a good old
! New York family. etiucatcd and capable,
! left a widow without money and having
| served no apprenticeship to any of the in
dustries by which women earn bread and
| butter, began to think of putting her pride
i'll her pocket and turning her notable house
! keeping talents to account by looking for
| service in family as cook.
! Considering the matter further, it &C
| Cured to her that she could do better Sc
curing with some little effort, the project
being a novel one, a clientage of half a dozen
! families in her immediate neighborhood that
were grooming under dyspepsia induced by
slight housekeeping, she began to send out
three times day delicately cooked and
| daintily served meals. Her venture was so
| immediately successful that she looked up
| New England housekeepel and a couple of
stout-armed Swedish girls to help her, and
! her business sprang almost in single night
| to the utmost dimensions that she could
handle. Families that had tried the frizzled
steak broiled by the green girl families that
were starving on meals elaborated over the
! Pickering gas Jet, families that had eaten
! table board in the basement dinihg-room
| around the corner, families whose pocket
books groaned at the expense of the waiter
! load sent in from hotel or restaurant, femi-
| lies whose heads were business women with
fafrN Nf
| annoyance of servants in a small fiat were
| glad to be supplied with honest home cook
| ing varied, palatable and at a reasonable
| price.
! She has twenty-one families on her list at
| present [ think, to whom she supplies Just
that wholesome round of breakfasts, lunches
| and dinners that the average householder
| would offer TO husband and little folks.
| Fruit in season in the morning, oatmeal or
wheaton grits, fish, steak or chops; side
dish, such as stewed kidneys, sausage, liver
| or bacon; eggs; coffee, tea or chocolate,
bread and butter milk and sugar. Soup,
| fish, roast, three vegetables, desert and
coffee make up the dinner, all of which is
] sent out at a cost of 81 a week to single
| person, IS each for members of families,
though as what is supplied for two is stiff
| Gent for three, the cost per household is not
| reckoned in multiples of that sum. In
| way the experiment is one in cooperative
| housekeeping, for practically the cost of
everyday living is divided among a number
of families, purchases for all being made
| together, the labor for all systematized and
| simplitied, and the waste of all lninimized,
the result being that each family saves
nearly the full amount of its cooks wages
and is freed from the tyranny of Castle
| Garden besides.
Two other women, emulous of the success
of the first, talk Of starting similar enter
prises. The scheme is in its infancy, but
whenever a sufficient number of families
within radius of block or two, as near
| the great fiat houses, can be interested in it,
it has promise of an opening for an industry
for women and of relief from divers per-
plexities for the families they serve.
A UNIQUE SOUVENIR.
A unique album is souvenir of one of
| the latest of the spring weddings Bound
in white plush, with ivory clasps and the
united monograms of bride and groom in
great dew drops of pearls Oh its side, it holds
a collection of pictures such as very possibly
was never made before. Going back to the
earliest meeting of the two who now are
one, it shows on its first leaf the deck of the
Fulda, on which happy ship they crossed the
big pond together last June. The steamer
chair with her shawl thrown over it stands
| just as she pushed it back when she rose to
take turn with the newly introduced eli
| gible young man. Skipping then to the
other side, the album gives views of an
English cathedral or two that they CHANGED
to visit together of a gray day in a London
fog; of a youth and a maid whose faces look
familiar in a boat in the lake region of
| Partisan street with the same pair out on a
shopping expedition; of gallery in the
| Louvre with a couple not quite absorbed in
the pictures; of gay party with Alpen-
stocks that undertook a Swiss climb, and
INtf
| lantic again, of a couple of saddle horses in
| the park and an autuInnal ride. o ~.'f
| The record for the w inter is not SO full,
| but 1t gives two or three suggestively cozy
| hooks in reception room and parlor, and the
| same young man and woman who have fig
ured from the beginning Of the volume in
| skating and toboggan costumes. The we'd
| ding epoch is fully illustrated, the pictures
| giving the exterior of the church, the flower
decked altar, the group of bridesmaids and
| usheIS, the clergyman, the bride in her veil
| and groom i'll wedding suit the moment of
| departure with showers of rice flying and
| the new home in which the couple will Settle

The pictures with the exception of the final
ones were not taken with any view to their
ultimate destination, but were chosen, when
